Never be limited by other people’s limited imaginations.

SIAMs Inspection
2025
We are delighted to share the report from our very successful SIAMs inspection. It is a wonderful reflection our strong relational culture and the wide impact of our school’s Christian vision:
“At the heart of our school are high expectations and depth in faith that inspire us to grow, flourish and work together to achieve our full potential. It is our intention that we all develop our fullest sense of self, both individually and collectively”.
Black History Month
Today we enjoyed our school carnival as part of the celebration of Black History Month. Thank you to the members of PiP for working so hard setting up and packing down too! Our Black History Month festivities continue next week, so more photos and news will follow, but below is a selection of just some of the activities the children have been enjoying in October.
Black History Season Workshops – Camden Libraries are celebrating Black History Season with creative workshops for children and families, including Kente-inspired crafts, storytelling, and activities honouring inspiring Black women and girls. Events run across multiple libraries during October half term. Find out more here!
Occasional Places
On occasion we have spaces in which to welcome new children and families to our school. You are the ones that know us best, so if you know of any family looking for a school place, please do advise them to contact the school office to find out if we have any places. They are also very welcome to visit.
The Holy Trinity Way – Connect Before Correct
When behaviour is wobbly, rather than reaching straight for the threat of punishment or sharing the effect that the behaviour has on your own emotions, try offering help. You can ask, ‘What can I do to help you follow our rule about showing co-operation?’ or ‘I know this is difficult, but we do need to get our shoes on; what can I do to help?’ Take notice of how differently your child responds.
Christian Vision
At the heart of our school are high expectations and depth in faith that inspire us to grow, flourish and work together to achieve our full potential. It is our intention that we all develop our fullest sense of self, both individually and collectively.
Toward love and good deeds.
Hebrews 10: 24
This week we reflected on the story of Creation – the foundation of the Christian understanding of the world. It tells us that God didn’t use existing materials but created everything anew. The narrative unfolds over six days and the repeating phrase, “and God saw that it was good,” emphasises the perfection and intentional beauty of the newly formed world. On the seventh day, God rested, establishing the pattern of the Sabbath as a holy day of reflection and restoration.
The Creation story gives us two profound lessons: wonder and responsibility. The lesson of wonder encourages us to see the world as a magnificent gift crafted by a loving God. Everything from the colours of a butterfly to the complexity of the human body is designed to inspire awe and thankfulness. By viewing creation this way, we are encouraged to adopt an attitude of gratitude and reverence for life. This naturally leads to the second lesson: stewardship. God gave humankind care and oversight over the Earth. This means we are not the owners, but the caretakers of God’s property. Therefore, all generations of humanity are called to protect the environment, respect animals, and use the earth’s resources wisely, reflecting God’s own care and order in their daily actions.
